Abstract
Is it possible to create an ant robot which can leave “scents” behind? Is it possible to create robotic football on the same platform? What about mouse maze, line follower or sumo robot? And what about the possibility to have dynamically scalable environment which can interact with robots? Everything mentioned and more can be done on the same platform called Aeris. In this paper, robot platform called Aeris is presented. Department of Technical Cybernetics has long years experience with implementing different robots into education. The logic step was trying to integrate existing robots experiment scenarios into one platform but the result went over borders of common “robot” discipline. Universal and interactive robot “playground” concept is presented, with potential to be easily usable on teaching purposes from simplest robotics to technical cybernetics, embedded systems or artificial intelligence. This platform has a potential to be also powerful equipment for researchers, for example in dynamic learning systems, swarm systems or other learning algorithms. The actual state of Aeris is presented with an overview of future work.
